President Trump is illegally trying to cancel almost $1 billion in federal funding for things like immigration services, foreign aid, education programs and health research without Congress’s consent.
This is NOT how things work in a democracy. politico.com/news/2026/09/25…

36 DAYS TO MIDTERMS. A NEW RECEIPT A DAY. 🧾
Renée Good. Alex Pretti. Killed by immigration agents during Trump’s immigration crackdown, among many others.
Remember this when voting. 🗳️

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration Monday filed its response to the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) lawsuit seeking records about any plans to seize or inspect ballots, voting machines or other election materials during the 2026 midterms. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

Russians continue to murder people all over Kyiv.
Another horrific night for Kyiv.
Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital again, with strikes reported across several districts.
In the Solomianskyi district, missile debris fell into the courtyard of a residential building. An infrastructure facility was hit, as well as one of the buildings of an educational institution, where a fire broke out.
Kyiv barely gets a night to recover before Russia comes again. This is what living in the Ukrainian capital has become.

Just now, Kyiv came under a massive missile attack — around ten ballistic missiles in just ten minutes.
And all of this comes on top of the almost continuous attacks by Shahed/Geran attack drones.
Kyiv is once again enduring terrifying moments.
I pray for our city and all its people. I pray that no one has been harmed and that the Almighty protects each and every one🙏

Remember how Trump's IRS gave Trump a free pass from IRS audits?
That's a clear violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause. We filed an amicus brief saying so. citizensforethics.org/legal-…

When the man who investigated Trump firsthand — before Republicans refused to let us see and hear everything he found - says the danger
Is "greater than anything he has seen in his lifetime," we should LISTEN.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith didn't mince words:
"I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime."
This isn't coming from a political commentator or a random pundit. It's coming from the prosecutor who spent years examining the evidence against Trump, reviewing classified documents, interviewing witnesses, and seeing how power was used behind the scenes.
Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or independent, the rule of law is supposed to be the foundation of our democracy. It means NO ONE is above the law, no matter how wealthy, powerful, or politically connected they are.
And, ask yourself, what's the harm in seeing the FACTS!?
If Trump didn't do anything wrong, he shouldn't have anything to worry about, right?
When someone with Jack Smith's experience warns that the threat is unprecedented, it shouldn't be dismissed because of politics.
It should prompt every American to ask what's happening to the institutions that are supposed to protect democracy.

Just weeks before Election Day, Texas Republicans shut down 92 polling locations in Tarrant County.
Now voters will have to struggle with hours-long lines at the polls and chaos leading up to November 3rd.
THIS IS WHAT TO FOCUS ON.
NOT CROWD SIZES.

All Trump’s malevolence and psychosis will be on full display right after the midterms. We’ve been here before in Nov 2020, and here we go again. The national nightmare of Trump refusing to accept defeat and dragging the country through lies, conspiracies and drama begins again.

This is 16-year-old Katya Budko. Russia killed her in Sumy on September 27 when three guided bombs hit a residential neighborhood💔🕯
She was in her final year of high school. Her school shared: “Katya will forever stay in our hearts as a student, a friend, and an irreplaceable part of our school family.”

With little more than a month to go until Election Day, my job is to worry. I am paid to look around corners and see what might go wrong, not simply to assume that everything will go right. democracydocket.com/opinion/…
Kevin Gilot retweeted
Trump is fighting the press, the courts & your wallet all at once, & it's only Monday
His bet is that the chaos moves too fast for anyone to keep track
We're keeping track. I'll get into it w/ @AriMelber on @MSNOWNews at 6:25pm ET -TN

A CAMERA IS NOT A CRIME. QUESTIONING ICE IS NOT A CRIME. A BADGE DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT A WOMAN.
PAXIS.app helps citizens and immigrants understand their constitutional rights and prepare for ICE encounters. It’s free and funded entirely by donations. Help keep that knowledge accessible: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS
ICE agents grabbed and handcuffed a volunteer who was filming their operation. A male agent frisked her and pulled down her pants. Agents then walked her around in handcuffs before releasing her.
Three serious constitutional issues:
• FIRST AMENDMENT: Retaliating against someone for peacefully recording and questioning government agents violates protected freedoms.
• FOURTH AMENDMENT: Arresting someone without probable cause is unconstitutional. A camera and uncomfortable questions do not supply it.
• FOURTH AMENDMENT: Pulling down someone’s pants during an unjustified public search is a grave invasion of bodily privacy.
Agents used their authority to punish a woman for exercising the very rights they are supposed to respect.
Record EVERYTHING. Preserve the evidence. Demand accountability.
Know your rights: PAXIS.app

10 Hills I’ll die on:
- Big corporations shouldn’t be able to buy elections
- A good education shouldn’t just be for rich kids
- Getting sick shouldn’t mean going broke
- We should invest in child care like we do our roads and libraries
- Billionaires should pay their fair share so everyone else gets a fair shot
- Homes are for people, not corporations
- Abortion is health care
- Americans should not have to subsidize the cost of data centers
- No one should be able to use public office to make themselves richer
- We need to put put power back in the hands of working people

So let’s make sure they stay in the spotlight.

John Sununu lied. His name *is* in the Epstein Files. He *was* in Doha, Qatar for an event Epstein used for networking.
Voters deserve to know what else he’s lying about.
